Sonnet Technologies Tempo SATA X4i Serial ATA Host Adapter Card - Manual (Page 3)

Quick Start Guide for Tempo SATA X4i
5. Locate the power connector plugged into your computer’s
existing hard drive. You should find at least one extra power
connector near the existing drive; if you have installed
only one new drive, plug the extra power connector into it.
Connect only one power connector to the drive. If you
have installed more than one new drive, or there are no
additional power connectors, you may need to use power
cable Y-adapters or other adapters which will provide power
to the connected hard drives.
Verify the connectors are
plugged in securely.
6. Locate an available PCI-X or PCI slot inside your computer
and remove its access cover, if present, from the rear of the
computer.
7. Remove the Tempo card from its packaging, and install it
into the slot; make sure the card is firmly seated.
8. Route the Serial ATA data cable(s) to the Tempo card; avoid
heat sinks and make sure the cables will not get crushed or
pinched by any part of the case when the computer is reas-
sembled.
9. Plug in the Serial ATA data cable(s) to the Tempo card.
10. Check the cable connections; make sure all cables are con-
nected securely to the Tempo card and the hard drives.
11. Secure the Tempo card firmly in place with the previously
removed mounting screw if necessary, and then close the
computer; be very careful not to pinch the cables.
